When I decided to write a series, the concept of change and evolution of my characters was a starting place for me. In nature, butterflies symbolize change of a dramatic degree. People (mostly women) tattoo butterflies on their bodies to memorialize a life changing event or to commemorate a moment in time the wish to never forget. Even Ebony gets a butterfly tattoo...well, you have to read the story to find out where and why, though!
A Heart Not Easily Broken starts in May, just as Ebony is going on summer break before the final year of college. She's been working hard for the past seven years and is excited to embark on her dream of becoming a licensed veterinarian. She meets and falls in love with Brian, a man who is different, being that he is white, yet shares the same type of hard work, dedication, and passion for what he wants to achieve in life. During the seven months the book follows their relationship, each character is tested, the strength of their relationship, love, and the ability to grow and evolve into better, more open-minded people ensues. By the end of the book, it is December. With hearts full of love and gratefulness, they have experienced their life-changing butterfly moment.

My butterfly moment in 2012 would be my daughter being born on my husbands and I, 4 year wedding anniversary! Not many can say the same!

DeleteYay! That's amazing! Great way to celebrate! Congratulations!
DeleteI think my butterfly moment happened after a bad breakup in 2008. I had to realize that I'm my own person and changing myself for someone won't change anything after they're gone. I love myself and that won't ever change. It's a journey but I'm worth it.
ReplyDeleteGreat for you! Always value your self-worth!
DeleteMy Butterfly moment happened about a year ago. I was fired from my job, and it that finally gave me the courage to go back to school.

DeleteMy car was stolen from being parked in front of my door which had me very upset, but about 5 miles away another car theft was taking place by gun point and therefore putting a young lady in the hospital. The lord is good all the time.

DeleteMy buterfly moment was most definitely being told my husband had a mass in his neck and symptomts that mimicked lymphoma and then having an ultrasound that confirmed his thyroid isn't functional. Talk about a come to Jesus moment i never prayed so hard in my life. Thank you and keep putting out such good books
ReplyDeleteI have a thyroid issue as well, glad mine was caught early, but it's still serious and must be maintained. I wish him the best, and yes, thinking the worst would definitely have you praying!
DeleteThank you for the compliment, believe me I am writing my butt off! Can't wait to start sharing it with you!
